AM: (9 miles, 1:18:39). Nice day, I went over to visit CoCo and Big Boy, fed them their carrots and took a leisurely jog home. PM: easy 4. I expected not to be able run this afternoon and tomorrow, so much so that I scheduled some very very early morning conference calls tomorrow! But, I met my new breast surgeon and he wants to wait 3 weeks before the next set of biopsies. He talked trash about my radiologist (kind of kidding here, but not really) - he doesn't think the biopsy that she took got any of the "right" tissue, and he says there are three areas that he wants to get to. However, the previous biopsy (3 weeks ago) caused some tissue damage, and he wants to wait until some of the inflammation goes down before he goes "back in". His way will use a larger bore needle and cover a larger area -- meaning be more invasive -- but he is hoping to avoid a surgical biopsy if possible. Good-news-bad-news - the story of my life these days. I am glad I avoided a biopsy today (good news) - but I had to reschedule for 3 weeks (bad news) - and this next one will be a doozy (I won't go into details, but there was "binding", "stitches", and "major bruising" discussed). He also said, "take it easy on the running - I need this tissue to heal" - yea right buddy! it is the only thing keeping me sane these days ;-). Happy Thursday bloggers.
